So can we all come to some agreement that it's not about the goddamn back? Hi! I rushed for 204 yards in a Super Bowl. And I'm talentless Seriously. This is important. It is my crusade. We're 10-1, we're having a great year, playing our asses off, we're happy with our coaches, and there's no better time to have this conversation. Can we
